Guide to Historical Research at the National Agricultural Library: The General Collection.
Special Reference Briefs SRB 94-02, Feb. 1994. http://www.nal.usda.gov/ref/history1.htm
Agricultural History on the Internet: A Finding Aid. http://www.nal.usda.gov/ref/aghist.htm
Provides links to historical information on the Web sites of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture; other government agencies and libraries; university libraries; associations and research centers; commercial Web sites; and listserv online discussion groups.
The bibliographic database produced by the National Agricultural Library and cooperating institutions, AGRICOLA contains more than 3.3 million records on all aspects of agriculture and related subjects. It includes citations to journal articles, books, proceedings, dissertations, patents, translations, reports, and non-print materials. Although production in electronic format began in 1970, the database covers materials from the 16th century to the present.
Approximately 900 journals -- out of the over 20,00 serials received - are currently indexed in AGRICOLA. Because many of those dealing specifically with agricultural history are not indexed, the user may also want to check the current serials section of this guide and other bibliographic resources.
For materials published before 1966 and not found in AGRICOLA, the user should check the Dictionary Catalog of the National Agricultural Library, 1862-1965, and the Bibliography of Agriculture from1942 through 1969. Both are described in the 1994 Guide to Historical Research at the National Agricultural Library.
AGRICOLA is available for searching at the NAL and may also be accessed through our Web site at: http://www.nal.usda.gov/ag98
ISIS, the production arm of AGRICOLA, is updated daily and contains the most current bibliographic citations for books, journals, reports, audiovisuals, and other materials added to the NAL collections. It includes holdings records for individual journals generally beginning with 1973. ISIS may be accessed through the AGRICOLA Web site or by Telnet to: opac.nal.usda.gov.
In additional to AGRICOLA, agricultural databases containing a significant number of historically related citations include: CAB Abstracts, AGRIS, TROPAG & RURAL, and Biological and Agricultural Index. ERIC, the database from the U.S. Dept. of Education, also contains citations on agricultural history. All these files are available for searching on the onsite NAL Network.
Important databases in the field of history not available at NAL include: America: History and Life; Historical Abstracts; DISCovering U.S. History; DISCovering World History, and Biography Master Index. For additional files, see the Gale Directory of Databases on the onsite NAL Network.
